My MZ-1 died last year, after making it to almost 30 years of operation, and ate a rare MD that I hadn't archived. "No problem," I thought, "I'll just remove the disc manually." I photographed and labelled everything in the order of disassembly, and I still can't get it back together. I'm not remotely embarrassed by it, either. After what I went through just to get it apart, I'm still astounded by the level of precision in manufacturing Japanese in the 90s were capable of.
